One good reason to welcome more foreigners



As a small country, we need to trade with everyone to survive. We need free trade and open skies to trade freely, to move freely. It is a quid pro quo thing. We let your goods in, you let our goods in, no taxes.

This same principle is applicable to recognition of university degrees. You recognize our degrees we recognize yours. And if we let your people come here freely, work here freely, live here freely, the same must be reciprocated.

Now Sinkies, please understand this logic. Our island is so small, so cram. Would it not be nice to be able to live in big countries with a lot of land? Let the people of the world come here freely and we move to their countries freely as well. They can come and buy and live in our HDB flats and we be allowed to move to their countries, buy land and build landed properties. Those bigger countries would have no problem or feel insecure to welcome us. Would this be good? Would it be good to live in big countries where properties are cheap, cars are cheap and lifestyle slow and easy?

And when we recognize their degrees, their doctors and lawyers and engineers can practice here, so can our professionals practice in their countries. Imagine Sinkies can go anywhere and work and practice anywhere. Imagine we are welcome everywhere. And we can rent out our HDB flats, collect the rentals, and live in landed properties in other countries. And those from other countries come and live in our small little flats, pay us a lot of money to live in their countries. That would be really nice. The world is our oyster!

Imagine all the people in the world, living in peace and harmony. But I am just a dreamer, and I am not the only one.

Strange, in a conservative society, the leaders practices sheep stealing or coveting someone's wife.

Thou shall not commit adultery or the woman's charter will chop off your kookoojiao.

Exchange is no robbery and reciprocation is goodwill and act of altruism.
Rb is beginning to see the wisdom of the leadership. The FIRST THING the political leaders and the filthy rich will do will be to live in their mansions and ivory towers oversea, the moment developments here are not in their favor.
For some, their successors maybe are already living oversea.

The only problem with the entire arrangement is that only the upper social strata of Singapore can make full use of the arrangement.

Maybe Singaporeans "comfort" mentality is too strong, but I doubt that the people of poorer backgrounds would be able to find overseas opportunities, given that they might be limited in both exposure, contacts and education.

With that said, how would the average Singaporeans gain from such political arrangements?

I hope Timbuktu or any third world country will not be xenophobic or protective and would welcome me with open arms. Then I can become a farmer, like our forebears, and live off the land.

I won't go either extremes but you are forced to go on the highway and on a fast lane.

Good luck to road crossers.

For the entrepreneurs, it is a different story to venture abroad, to taste the fruits of success. Unfortunately many Sinkies were forced to work overseas because they could not find a suitable job at home. Thus they have to abandon the comfort of home and family, to seek greener pastures like our forefathers when others were given the opportunity to work here, to replace them in their own country.

Switching places? Sinkies move to live in third world countries, third world citizens move in to live in first world city.

RB...good morning..you think that other countries are in as much of a political wilderness as we are is it..they have electorates to account to..you know..so you want to chin chye chin chye enter...wait long long ok..our government also has electorates to account to but our system is so fucked that even if the opposition gets 51% of the votes they may not necessarily get to form the govt..so i think yours will be a long long dream...

jjgg, good morning.

You are right. Even a god forsaken country will be guarded like a piece of gold by its owners and not anyone can go in.

Only prostitutes welcome anyone and think they will be welcomed by everyone and anyone.

Prostitutes are admirable professionals. The people who shun them actually want to screw them or screw like them. Irony is, they learn the art of fucking from prostitutes and used it on people but refuses to give prostitutes the credit and honor.

Matilah can testify to that, right Matilah?

Prostitution is an honourble enterprise.

Those of us who enjoy freedom, and women who enjoy there present day "rights" should be thankful of for prostitution and its purveyors.

Anyway, if not for a legalised sex industry, ugly bastards, non-committal types, workaholics would probably never get fucked or sucked.

...and that would increase thee world's sadness.

The nation can only be sustained by the right values. Mercenaries don't add real sustainable value. Often then not, it segregates and plot for the downfall of those who feed them intravenous substances

Those who pay prostitutes to have employment and keep their families alive are kind and honorable. Therefore, they should be respected for saving people.

If you have a fraction of the 1.3 billion people from China come here to settle down, the weight of these people will sink the little red dot. And if they pee together, only Bukit Timah will be above water.

Sure you want total freedom in migration?

Nah, you need to impose more hypocritical laws and values to manage the differences. These white lice don't have to suffer the bad manners of cultural mandates; it is the common people who ultimately need to shoulder the burden of saints.

So saintly, their police officers and elites have to pay your daughters to destress after work.

Or, fuck themselves in the bedroom.
